EU Banking and Financial Regulation

EU Banking and Financial Regulation presents a comprehensive and systematic overview of the major directives and regulations which currently govern the EU’s banking and finance industries. Offering a depiction of the main EU rules, this timely book not only addresses the various banking and financial legislations relating to EU supervisors, banks and financial markets, but also considers more peripheral issues such as anti-money laundering, whilst referring to important case law.

Consisting of 16 thematic parts, the book explores the current legal framework applicable to the banking and finance industry and examines the structure and organisation of the various EU legislations. Focus is also given to the evolution of banking and financial regulations which allows for comparative links to be drawn between the diverse legislation.

This accessible book aims to be a fundamental resource for practitioners and public servants in the legal and financial sectors. Undergraduate and postgraduate students alongside academics interested in European finance and banking law will also find this book to be a highly valuable read.
